Metacognitive Knowledge and Reading of Pupils with Learning Disabilities.
van Kraayenoord, Christina E.
This study used a longitudinal design to examine the possibility of a causal link between metacognitive knowledge and reading performance across time in a group of grade 2 Australian children (1989 cohort, N=100; 1990 cohort, N=90) with and without learning disabilities. Revaluation between 1 and 2 years later found: no relationship between children's metacognitive knowledge about reading from one year to the next; group membership influenced almost all reading and metacognitive variables; accuracy and comprehension scores changed positively over time; there was no consistent relationship between metacognition and comprehension; and there were inconsistent results regarding the relationship between the two metacognitive constructs (metacognitive knowledge about reading and print awareness) particularly investigated.
